Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     NMAKE stops execution if it executes a command or program that
     encounters an error and returns a nonzero exit code. The exit code
     is displayed in an NMAKE error message.
 
     There are several ways to control NMAKE when an error occurs:
          ◄!CMDSWITCHES Directive►
          ◄Dash (-) Modifier►
          ◄.IGNORE Directive►
          ◄/I Option►
          ◄/K Option►
 
     Another way to use exit codes is during preprocessing. You can run
     a command and test its exit code with the !IF directive.
     See: ◄Running a Program in Preprocessing►
 
     NMAKE itself issues exit codes that can be checked.
